I’ve been with them for more than 2 years now.
I like BlueHost. Good phone support service.

Used to be good. They now oversell too far, resulting in horrendous downtime. Don’t be surprised if you cannot get my site. I’ve have the past three weeks of hell with their server, and they won’t move me to another- “policy". Don’t try to back up your MySQL database with them either- it kicks you out due to “high” cpu usage! Overall I need to move my sites and blogs off there to somewhere reliable, otherwise why bother having a web presence at all?
Their realtime chat tech support is clueless, and offers nothing better than “we’re sorry, an Administrator is working on it". Cannot get phone support- we are not in the States.
I’m off hunting for a good webhost…
I’m located in Australia and I moved to Bluehost to host a couple of Australian domains a little over 2 years ago. Their support in the setup phase was outstanding. I have never had my site go down. Site response times are fast. Compared to Australian hosts, they offer amazing value and superb service.

I hosted with BlueHost for 5 years, their service was very good though I rarely had to contact their tech support. My one compliant: they didn’t always respond immediately, but service was always good and problems resolved.

I have been with BH for almost 6 years.
I was new to the web when I contacted BH for domain space.
At first, there were issues exceeding php limits, maxing out storage limit.
But, they evolved as I evolved.
I have never had any issues with support.
Domain was only down due to a transformer
getting struck by lightning.
Any time I have called them for what ever reason I called them, I was never on hold for more then 2 min. Their staff is top notch & address any issue in a timely manner.
I host 15 sites on BH, 12 with databases & loaded with mods. NO issues, nice and smooth.
I would never leave BH & highly recommend anyone looking for a hosting company to give BH a try….You will be very happy!

In reply to Magda Wojtyra. Get your facts straight. You are ignorant. The ‘default’ limit is 150 per HOUR “not day” and can be easily raised to 750 per HOUR with one call. Bluehost is not perfect “for from it” But your comments are greatly skewed by your ignorance.
they are great!!! the email limit is per hour it was 150 for me but i went to their website to chat with them to ask how many where the limitation and the agent raised to 750 righ away and i don’t even ask him to doit it took like 30 seconds … the bandwith is very fast all the sites i have has very good performance

I impulsively became a webmaster overnight but furtunatly, I got BlueHost and they did a fantastic job in teaching me 1 on 1 what I needed to know to get up and running.
I have been with BlueHost for 4 years now and they have never disappointed me, not even once.
Their helpdesk is second to none, (Though they are my first and only Host so far) if the technician you have on phone hits a brick wall in regards to your immediate issue “no panic” he or she creates a ticket that get handled by a Level 2 technician and within a coupled of hours the designated technician resolves the issues as expected; what better Hosting service can one wish for?
Their staffs are, Patient servicedesk employees, good listeners, experienced trouble-shooters.
I strongly recommend bluehost.com and I can vouch that you too will not regret you did.

Been with 1and1 for years - they are a pain to set up sites, but once they were up, very little if any downtime and really just never had many issues. I just tried bluehost and launched my site yesterday, told facebook fans, friends, and then I go to check site tonight, and the SQL database goes offline and now my site is down. I look like total idiot to the public, so they lost me in a total of 2 weeks - great service! I would highly recommend anyone else but Bluehost.

With several sites now hosted on B over the last 4 years, most including databases, I can say I am more than happy.
On-line support has been quick when needed. No complaints at all.
I recommend them to my clients and have no interest in going elsewhere.
Far, far better value and service than any Australian host I have had any dealings with.

Horrible service, do not host with this company! If you have an online e-shop with this hosting beware
Bluehost wrongly suspended my account without any warning for 3 weeks due to a copyright issue - This is their standard policy! after 3 weeks and over 20 calls they apologized and unsuspended my account. By then of course i have lost lots of business and have already transferred my site to a much better hosting company

When Bluehost raised their domain renewal from $10 to $14, I told them to not renew my domain and not charge my card. I transferred my domain, but they still charged my card, and refused to give me a refund. Then they deactivated my hosting account, with all my clients, even though it was fully paid. I used to love Bluehost, but they are awful now. Avoid them!

Comment from: bruce flynn
arrogant tech support suggested that I host my images elsewhere instead stopping the process that was causing a slowdown on mysites. Go elsewhere, I will be looking now.

This article discuss all detail about Bluehost company. This company offers VPS and Dedicated server hosting. This article is helpful in selecting hosting.

The worst support ever!!!! They move you around between agents without resolving simple issue of not being able to “write to the disc” and then tell you to wait for another couple of hours for a specialist (which mean the person who works in the main office I guess). That happened more than once. For a service of 24/7 its just horrible!

I would never recommend Blue host to host a b2evo website. They want to blame everything that goes wrong on b2evo even when it is clearly their problem. I created a default installation using their 1 click process and when installed it did not meet the suggested requirement for the application. (no apc/opcache and no APCu on share servers.
Also they blocked downloads antispam keywords from antispam.b2evolution.net and refused to try to resolve the problem when I showed that other servers using the same software could do it easily.
After spending hours in Tech service chats I gave up an am now moving to another host.
If you like b2evolution, Bluehost is a terrible choice.
